TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



41 



Diamond. 



Delaware. 



White. This Grape is surpassed 

 in quality and beauty by few 

 others. The bunches are large, compact and 

 shouldered. The berries are large, round, 

 juicy and tender, and make very desirable 

 wine. They have thin but tough skin, which 

 is a ver^' desirable market quality. Together 

 with its desirable fruit characteristics, it is 

 early, hardy, productive and vigorous, which 

 qualities make it unsurpassed among the 

 green type of Grapes. It deserves all the 

 praise it has been given, and more. 



Red. This Grape is the stan- 

 dard by which the quality of 

 American Grapes is gaged. The berries are 

 small, juicy, sweet and with thin but firm 

 skin. It is able to withstand climatic con- 

 ditions under which other hardy varieties fail 

 and to adapt itself to many soils not suited 

 to most other Grapes. As a wine Grape it is 

 among the best, its early maturity insuring 

 a crop; attractiveness in appearance, keeping 

 quality on the vine and in the package, ship- 

 ping excellence and comparative immunity to 

 black rot make it also a vcn,- desirable market 

 Grape. 



Flvira White. Bunch medium and very 

 compact. Berries are excellent for 

 wine, for which purpose they are mostly used. 

 The vine is a strong, stalky grower, with ample 

 foliage, and is almost perfectly hardy as far 

 north as Canada. It is quite resistant to 

 black rot and enjoys almost entire immunity 

 to phylloxera. It ripens late, about with 

 Catawba, and is very productive. 



White. Bunches medium, long, 

 compact ; the berries are medium 

 in size; the quality is nearly as good as Diamond. 

 It is the equal of this in vigor and in resistance to 

 disease. It is earlier than Niagara. The fruit keeps 

 well on the vine after ripening and retains its flavor 

 well for a long time after being picked.

Martha. 



Moore's Early. The 

 favorite sort for the 

 amateur Grape-grower 



White. Bunch medium- 

 shouldered; berries green- 

 ish white; thin skin; sweet pulp and of excellent 

 quality. Vine vigorous, hardy and very productive. 



I JuJlpw, Red. Bunch large, medium long; 

 Liinaiey. berries are uniform in size, firm, fine- 

 grained, juicy, tender and with a peculiar, though 

 pleasant, aromatic flavor. Lindley is an excellent 

 garden Grape and while not recommended for general 

 commercial planting, it is excellent as a fancy prod- 

 uct, because of its quality and attractiveness; dark 

 red. If it is given proper care, it will not disappoint 

 you. 



White. This is a seedling of Concord 

 and greatly resembles its parents, but 

 differs in the following particulars: Fruit white to 

 green, a week or more earlier, bunch and berries not 

 large, but far better in quality, being sweeter, more 

 delicate, and with less foxincss and less pulp. Hardy 

 and healthy in the South. 



Black. This is the stan- 

 dard Grape of its season, 

 ripening two or three weeks earlier than Concord. 

 The berries are larger and the bunches somewhat 

 smaller than Concord, but the flesh characteristics 

 are essentially the same, being melting sweet and 

 with little pulp, though with a flavor and aroma 

 peculiarly its own. The vine is hardy both north 

 and South, and is planted very extensively for \nne- 

 yards, as it is vigorous, healthy and productive. 

 This Grape is the variety for the amateur, and the 

 grower who is looking for an early market Grape.
